For me it has to be the harvester for bonereapers.
The actual model for the most part is solid and looks a great.
Even has an element of comedy thrown in with a stormcasts helmet being rejected.
They then added a crotch skeleton because why not?
To make it worse, it’s a key part of the model so removing it is far more work than it should be.
Easier to cut it flat and cover it with a tabard.

How can the Chibi Hawk go unmentioned?
It's from 2010, so that was only like 3 or 4 years ago.
And then there's the Chibier Hawk!
I love that they put the landing gear on the nose turret because the damn thing is so unwieldy there was nowhere else to put it.

I left the top air scoop off the raven and replaced the turret with an unmanned low profile one. Helps it a lot.
The stormtalon got a lot better when I stopped thinking of it as “it’s a plane” and more “40k version of a cold war era Soviet helicopter gunship” Perspective shift did it wonders.
But I agree, that neither on are particularly good models.

I've seen some nice Hind Valkyrie amalgamations. I'd like to get a StormTalon and do similar but couldn't ever find the motivation to buy a model I didn't really like.

You mean the Space Guppy?
Chapterhouse made a nice Chibi-Hawk extension kit. Gave the thing an actual fuselage so it was no longer a cockpit with wings.

Yeah, I've got those extension kits, which is why every time I see the original model, it always throws me off for a second as I wonder "what model is that?" because I'm so used to the extended ones I have.

The repentia have still not grown on me. Though the primaris buggy makes me feel the sisters got off lightly, and if I could get even half decent with greenstuff the new repentia with added robes could work...

LOL
I don't like the bathing suits on them.
Yeah I am a grownup and I am well versed in the Anglo-American paradox that hacking people up with chainsaws is wholesome family entertainment while a nipple or naughty bit is a national scandal.
I still think the naughty naughty school girls who need to be punished could have been dressed in rags and bandages preserving their precious modesty and making them look more grimdark. They should also be more emaciated like the flagellents, as is they look kind of well fed and cared for for disgraced prisoners on a suicide mission.

"Anything still in production" is a kinda terrible barometer as GW still has models from as far back as 1993 (or earlier with the Armour through the ages set) still in production.
27 years ago is not "recent".

Ah yeah I know. I was thinking of recent as 2004-2020 when I started the thread, but didn'hard think too hard about naming it. Not too important anyways. I just wanted to exclude all the golden oldies like Clown Nagash,Ariel, etc, because there's plenty of threads on that bunch of misfits already.

Some second millennium miniatures [like the old warlocks] don't even look that bad by modern standards.

If you want, but Njal Stormcaller in power armour is a classic and that's a hill I'm willing to die on.

The mirror universe version of this thread, “The best miniature of ancient times” would be full of awesome stuff. There are a lot of classic sculpts that are still in print, and remain classics.
A lot of metal/finecast I’d love to see a straight port over to plastic. Nothing wrong with the looks of the minis, but the material could use an update. Or old models that just need the sprues recut with modern technology. So much wasted potential on the old open frames.
